Vacancies tailoring lattice anharmonicity of Zintl-type thermoelectrics

Abstract While phonon anharmonicity affects lattice thermal conductivity intrinsically and is difficult to be modified, controllable lattice defects routinely function only by scattering phonons extrinsically. Here, through a comprehensive study of crystal structure and lattice dynamics of Zintl-typ...
